Infatuation

11|

Nayla was quick to save Antonio's number into her phone, they began texting almost immediately. The older male asking her if she was ok, he thought she had the flu or something like that, he wasn't aware of what was actually wrong with her.

He didn't know that she was mental.

She had to go back to school eventually, education is important after all. Lena was meeting up with her in the cafe by their school. They're planned on going in a bit late to indulge in the numerous breakfast foods the cafe had to offer.

Breakfast was a 24 hour thing, and she felt like she owned Lena a bit of an explanation. Nayla, feeling super hungry arrived at the cafe about 10 minutes early. Usually she would have waited to order but decided to start of her meal early and get a simple orange juice, to quench her thirst for a bit.

She was minding her own business and flicking through her phone when Lena bursted into the cafe, laughing like a madman. Nayla was tempted to act like she didn't know who she was but her plan was soon disturbed by Lena shouting her name and slinging into the chair opposite her

"Luca's jealous of Toni! I think, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't like you and Toni talking to each other around him. But then again he doesn't like when people speak around him. Toni's been smiling and laughing a lot. Luca hates when people laugh really loud...I'm not sure actually. But I think he's jealous"

Lena was rambling, but it was clear that she had a lot to say. She huffed and smiled at Nayla

"Well, now that's over, how are you feeling today?"

Nayla shook her head playfully and returned the smile to her friend before putting her phone down on the table. She looked at it briefly as it pinged, indicating that she had received a text

"Better, a lot better. I guess now you that saying you have, or had depression and anxiety isn't as quirky and trendy as it seems. My depression has gotten a lot better, I don't need to take antidepressants anymore, it's mostly my social anxiety right now. I'll recover"

She smiled and turned over her phone, seeing that she had received a text from an unknown number, Lena noticed the confused look on her face and smirked

"I gave Luca your number, I'm sorry but I'm a sucker for a good old love triangle"

Lena put her hands up and shrugged, she obviously wasn't that sorry, Nayla just smiled, she had already decided that she wasn't going to text back especially not after how cold he had been towards last night, for no good reason

Nayla called over a waitress so that they could both order, she was surprised to find that this cafe made full English breakfast's but she ordered it anyway, she was sure it wouldn't taste as good as it did back home but it was better than nothing

Lena ordered a plate full of fry-ups which had Nayla wondering how she maintained her beautiful, slim physique

After they had finished eating and Nayla had finally furnished telling Lena a about herself (and Lena returning this action) they both payed as Nayla decided to walk Lena to the school gates. It was apparent that she wasn't going to go in, especially after reciting her story to her friend

"Call me if you need anything, any excuse to get out of this hellhole would do" Lena grinned, her face immediately falling back into a sinister frown as she looked back at the building in front of her

"I'm sure I'll be fine, education is important...shoo!" Nayla found herself having to push Lena into the building to stop her from running away from school and following her home

"I know, I know, I'll text you!" She rolled her eyes and started walking away leaving Lena wondering how she knew what she was going to say

She pulled out her phone to send a quick text to Lena before she started firing up her phone, only to finally acknowledge the text from Luca. It simply said 'Lena gave it to me' . She ignored the message not even bothering to open it, just simply looking at it from her home screen

She then saw that a message from Antonio has also came through and a small smile crept onto her face, she couldn't help it, Toni made her feel happier then she'd ever been in a long time. Yet again, the two started texting each other, there mutual fondness for one another was undeniable

Toni sat, hunched over in the tiny chairs of the train, his large frame sticking out like a sore thumb amongst the other passengers, who of which were wondering how such a large man was able to fit into the train and why he was smiling at his phone like an idiot

At one point Toni had to stop himself from giggling, something no one had ever seen the grown man do, something about Nayla had him acting like an excitable school kid. He sighed and leaned back into his chair, she's cute, he thought, very cute

The young man pulled himself out of his daydream to get off the train, literally having to pull his body out of the seat, he stood and walked of the train, rubbing his butt as he did so.

He was too busy replying to Nayla to notice the small pillar which he was approaching, it wasn't until he hit his head on it that he was able to acknowledge its presence "Damn" he rubbed his forehead this time, a string of curses escaping from his lips as he put his phone away in his pocket, walking out of the train station to his mothers apartment 5 minutes away

When he hadn't replied for a while Nayla dropped her phone and walked to the kitchen to cook herself a meal, one that she would undoubtedly send a picture of to Toni to make him jealous. She finished, feeling proud with how her lasagne turned out she picked her phone to take a picture. As she was about to press the button which would take it an message from an unknown number came through

'I miss you' it said 'I need you back'
